Venezuelan families survived the earthquakes. Now they need food.

Venezuela | South America

On June 24, two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela within a minute of each other, destroying homes, livelihoods, markets and food supplies.

For children and families already struggling to eat, the disaster created a crisis on top of a crisis. Even before the earthquakes, access to enough food was a top concern for 80% of Venezuela’s population.

Now, 1.8 million people — including 680,000 children — need humanitarian assistance. For families who lost their homes and income, hunger will remain long after the immediate emergency ends.
